About EPA 608

EPA Section 608 certification is required for technicians who maintain, service, repair, or dispose of stationary appliances containing regulated refrigerants. The assessment has Core plus Type I, Type II, and Type III sections; passing Core with one or more type sections determines the certification earned, while passing all four under closed-book, proctored conditions earns Universal.

How is this different from a study podcast?

Can I keep listening while I practice?

What is the passing score for EPA 608 certification?

The standard minimum is 70% for each closed-book, proctored section. A separate mail-in/open-book Type I route requires 84%. Core is required with each type, and Universal requires Core plus Types I, II, and III all passed closed-book and proctored.

Does EPA 608 certification expire?

No, EPA Section 608 certification never expires. Once you pass the exam, you are certified for life. However, the industry and regulations do change, so many technicians choose to retake training periodically to stay current with new refrigerants and equipment.
